Hi

A PC lost it list of network printers. However, a reboot restored the
printer list.

This has moved on to no printers showing and can't add a printer, as user or
administartor.
'Windowcan't open Add printer. Operatin could not be completed. error
0x000006e6'

PC is behaving normally otherwise!

PC: Win Vista Business sp2
Networked to SBS
--
Many Thanks
Drew

the print spooler is not running

E:\>winerror 0x6e6
1766 RPC_S_INTERNAL_ERROR <--> 0xc0020043 RPC_NT_INTERNAL_ERROR

Be sure to start the Print Spooler service
